The sms and phone service infrastructure is more centralised than you might think and carriers probably have less redundancy than big tech when it comes to it. [1] https://www.thev…

I think this revolution will need to start from the bottom, new buyers need to realise that buying an ICE car does not make sense anymore, even if having EVs everywhere would only …

I bet you don't believe in climate change either, do you?

The real option is autonomous cars which you can call with a Uber-like app when you need it. That way we would have less cars but we would maximize the utilization rate of the ones…

Except that most non-technical users will never read ProtonMail blog.

Exactly. I find it embarrassing for the society as whole how many people these days comment on articles or posts by just reading the title.

> Hospitals want you to visit more often Maybe this is true in the US but not sure it's valid point in Europe where, given how the health system works, most of the time patients ar…

What really kills meal-kit companies is just one thing: churn. If you look at some published data from a while ago, Blue Apron has 15% user retention after one year, Hello Fresh 11…

Although it doesn't sound right, on the other hand why would Neumann rent his commercial real estate assets to WeWork competitors? Maybe the question should be, why the hell Neuman…

I find it's funny how people these days think the problem is with Facebook. Literally every company that has access to users' data has in one way or another some kind of business m…

Surely though that's different from fake likes assuming the advertiser is aware of it. I feel like YouTube by now is more similar to TV advertising, you take in consideration that …

I'm not the one who said the market is "extremely competitive". For sure is a market with high barriers to entry, very expensive to be in and profit margins are not that high eithe…

> Ryanair is the only airline to certain destinations Surely it's not Ryanair's fault if others are not willing to compete for certain destinations.

I travel quite often in Europe and took a fairly amount of Ryanair flights as well. The amount of people rushing in to the plane and messing around when it's time to put their stuf…

See, the problem is that here we don't need principles. We need real facts and real solutions. Many - across Europe - want to leave the EU on principle. The UK is giving the perfec…

For a starter, "wanting to leave the EU" without having a clue of how to do it or proposing practical solutions is not the finest thing to do. And also the entire immigration discu…

Exactly and tbh Google could just buy a newspaper and not give a shit about it. Many newspapers are rubbish and publish rubbish content anyway so that's the problem, not the copyri…

Do you really believe this is something politicians came up with in the first place? This is another example of the classic lobbies-driven political decision where politicians pass…

Yeah, it seems to me UKIP has good track record of things "getting rammed through without a public discussion" by now, like the 350 million for the NHS with Brexit.

It's because we are growing up with VCs teaching us that you have to burn money for 10 years before you can be profitable. Honestly, I'd sign with my blood if I could get my busine…

I bet ya a signed dollar it won't.

This is just another shitshow driven by publishers, unions and music labels lobbying politicians in the attempt to make money given they have no clue how to innovate and make money…
